About me and this Blog

I'm already on Facebook, so why a blog? There's just so many people on facebook and too much traffic going through it mostly by the youngsters. That's fine to keep in touch - simple line to say hi, share photos and mind everything else going on in all the feeds and posts .

There's more to life that's ok to share with friends and relatives.

I'm a working mum with three kids, a girl(oldest Alx) and two boys(Alr and Ar) - teenager, almost teenager and smaller brat, each about 4 years apart.

I'm not a newbie but this blog is new. This blog is a place where the ugly memories are faded into the background, to remember history for a purpose and put down thoughts for the positive memories and current meanderings, a place to mark events.

These two rascals here are my son and godson. many years back. There are more pix, I intend to put them out as I go along and recount moments.

And of course my craze, my when-I-get-started-can't-stop-addiction is papercrafts - stamping- card making. The one thing I have the least time and the most passion for.

Lately I can add a craze for gardening too...
My latest pre-occupation like I have so much time is my houseplants...

Life would have been drastically different if I had decided to do things very differently. If my life growing up had been different, where would I be today. Would I have had three kids? Would my path have taken a different turn.? Heaven only knows.

Time to regroup.

One year I planned a trip to Malacca, left so early and still got caught up in a jam at the causeway, and another on the way back. That's what public holidays create for those who don't leave the country by flight.but by car. Oh well, that in itself is an adventure of a different kind. Another year, I stayed in Singapore, took the folks for a picnic at Pasir Ris and ended up breaking my ankle on a rented cycle. Should I be weary, sure I should be. I want to chill with just me-time, but sometimes you just want to make the old folks a little happier with the small things. No nothing noble nor is it a major sacrifice, it is not impossible to chill while making that effort. It's just, sometimes, many times I just don't want to plan or do,   don't want to be forever thinking about upcoming never-ending deadlines and issues. Life is so stressful, my head is so full I can't see the path in front of me, I've wondered off and need to get centered again. Loo
